    As mankind, we are made of the physical, mental and spiritual. In each of these the LORD has given us reset button. God has placed a reset button in this life for us that is meant to revive us, refresh us, transform us, and change our behavior.

    Spiritual Milk Or A Thanksgiving Feast Series

     | 1,631 views

    On Thanksgiving day which do you prefer? Milk or a Thanksgiving feast? The writer of Hebrews has a candid conversation with those who were spiritually missing out on the best instead of Spiritual meat- they were on Spiritual milk. How do we do the opposite?

    When we think of Thanksgiving we often think of food. While we all know that Turkey is the top food for the Thanksgiving meal in America; the favorite side dishes vary. Yet, this week I did a little study to see which side dishes are America’s favorite. Are you ready for this? 1. Stuffing; of ...read more

    SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT Having a key in your hand is useless, unless you know how to use that key.

Bill told me, “Peter, these are not all the keys to the church, we are only giving you four keys: One key to the church building, one key to your office, one key ...read more

    A Gracious Call To A Social Outcast Series

     | 2,956 views

    So many people today feel like they exist more than they live, thinking that everything in this world is against them and that no one cares. Matthew, the tax collector, is just such a case. It turned out that Jesus had a plan for him, and for you as well.

    Jesus' compassion for people is evident as we progress through this Gospel. This display of Divine love is recorded by Matthew and Luke as well. The Lord Jesus is not the exclusive property of any group or man- made religious system. Nobody can mold Him into one particular behavior to suit ...read more
